I had to try this to see if Apple really blocks this, so I fired up VMware Fusion 11 launched Windows 10 and then I started Parallels and there I also launched Windows 10 no messages about to many virtual machines... So I wonder if docker does something else?

Oddly enough, one of my machines has this issue while the other does not. I'm running the same build of VMWare Fusion across both machines and they're both running the identical version of macOS Mojave.

VMWare team, please let me know if I can provide more information to help diagnose this issue. It's extremely annoying.

This is the ideal workaround until VMware finds a permanent fix for this issue, as it allows you to continue loading Docker on login while running VMware Fusion 11 VMs at your discretion.

Hi I get the same error message and opened a support ticket. Just had a call with a support technician. We was able to fix the issue by adding VMware Fusion to Accessibility in the System Preferences under Security and Privacy -> Privacy. After a restart I was able to start my VMs. Also I need to update the VMs to version 16. Hope this helps.

This seems to have worked for me. And, for what it's worth, I'm not running Docker (never even heard of it until reading this thread). But I've been unable to get past this error without rebooting my computer (a real pain in the middle of a busy work day!). Changing the preferences as noted above, then quitting and re-launching Fusion got me back into my VM pronto.
